"strptime" don't get compiled

[Gfast2]

Hi ESP-IDF,

today I have another issue, my toolchian can't figure out what is strptime. I've did some research on this. Some one said, it is not a standard C function, but a POSIX standard function. And my elcipse did successful found this function in <time.h>. But ESP-IDF still won't compile.

Any tipp for me?

Code: Select all

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
#include "freertos/FreeRTOS.h"
#include "freertos/task.h"

void app_main()
{
    printf("Hello world!\n");
    
    struct tm tm;
    strptime("2017-11-11T11:11:11ZZ", "%y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZZ", &tm);
}  

Error Log:

Hi Gfast2,

Thanks for reporting this. This is a bug in IDF. The file is compiling correctly but linking is failing because strptime() is missing from the libc library. We are working on a fix.

Thanks Angus,

As the work around, I use "sscanf()" which works on ESP-IDF right now, for someone who has the same problem right now.

cheers

Glad you found a workaround. On the current IDF master branch (as of 7e8c2a9), strptime() will link correctly.
